Start and Programmes
Easy Iron Programme
'Easy Iron' is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The
cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! 'Easy Iron' is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results: 1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric
Cotton and Cotton mixtures
Synthetics
Denim
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles
and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.
The 'Easy Iron' effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,
and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

Crease Care
The pre-care option is only available if a delayed start has
been selected. It tumbles the clothes occasionally during the
delayed period to help prevent creases developing.
The post-care option occasionally tumbles the clothes after
end of the drying and cool tumble cycles to prevent creases
developing, should you not be available to remove the load

Start/Pause light flashes Amber during this phase.
Selecting this option enables both the pre and post care
functions if appropriate.

Extra Care
This Anti-Ageing function for Cottons helps to maintain the
brightness of your laundry for a long time, thanks to the

and the correct temperature.

and 'Light Dry' dryness levels.

TIME DISPLAY
●
The display shows either the amount of time delay
remaining or an indication of the amount of time left for a
drying programme (see The Display).
The display also shows if there is a problem with your
dryer, if this occurs the display will show F followed by a
fault code number (see Troubleshooting).
Empty Water Container
●
(Messages about emptying can be ignored if you have
plumbed your dryer into a drain as there is no need to
empty the water container).
Messages are displayed to remind you to empty the
water container (see The Display).
If the water container fills during a programme, the heater
turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool Tumble.
After this it stops and a message tells you to
EMPTY WATER BOTTLE .
You must empty the water container and restart the dryer
or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the dryer the
message will take a few seconds to go out.
To avoid this always empty the water container each time
you use the dryer (see Maintenance).

Heat Pump Protection System
●
The heat pump system has a compressor protection

will prevent the heat pump compressor from starting for 5
minutes after the door is closed and the programme is
started.

If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove
the plug. When power is restored, press and hold the
